It's an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be have a problem with drug abuse. Often times, the expectant mother is addicted to alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing drug abuse in pregnancy isn't just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their infant taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for pregnant women may offer woman actual solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy baby when it is born. In a center for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without side effects which could compromise their own health or the well-being of their baby. They can be in treatment long enough to receive the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and what caused it, to prevent these scenarios and circumstances in the long-term so they are a good mother for their infant.
